Carrot Door Hanger






Supplies

Carrot (purchased at The Wood Connection)
Orange Paint
Green Paint
Brown Paint
Sandpaper (just in case)
Painter's Tape
Embellishments of your choice

Step 1
Tape off the carrot from the stem.



Step2
Paint carrot orange. I used three different colors and used the "dry brush technique" to create more "definition." Let it dry thoroughly. 

The colors I used are pictured below.


Step 3 
Tape the stem off from the carrot

Step 4
Paint the stem green. Use different colors to create "definition."


Step 5 (optional)
 "Highlight" the stem by using  a lighter green. Do this all around the edges of the stem. 



Step 6
Contour the carrot by using brown paint. This is very important. It just adds a ton to the finished product.

Step 7
After everything has dried add your embellishments. You can do whatever makes you happy. I used white tulle, green  polka dot ribbon, and rusty wire (you can find it at any craft store.) You could also modge podge glitter around the border of the carrot. I was going to do this, but i liked it with out it.



Step 8
Display your cuteness.

Easter Inspirations

I am going to be doing post that are simply to give you ideas. Basically no tutorial will be given just some pictures and suggestions on what I liked and didn't like about it, so you can learn from my mistakes. It will be mostly banners and things that already have a million tutorials.

Burlap Banner


What I liked:

I loved the shape of the burlap. 

The colors.

The ribbon. 

What I would do different:

Made the burlap an inch taller. 

I would've made the ribbon one long strip that connected all the flags together, instead of using string. 

Easter Buckets



I was really happy with these. The only thing I would do different is the ribbon. An easy fix, but I was too lazy to run to the store. The buckets can be purchased at Hobby Lobby in their summer party section.

Front Door Vinyl


 I do vinyl on my front door for all the holidays, so you will see a ton of these. 
 I think it would have been fun to do all the letters in different colors. 

I hope these pictures will give you some ideas for your Easter Holiday.
